Some a priori knowledge you have is that Intel has * high complexity in their chips compared to every non-white listed vendor * cut back on verification effort in the past decade So even after all that testing, you should still expect a greater chance of funny failures on Intel.
Then please enlighten me, what was the "fairly serious CPU correctness bug found by [my] employer"?

As I'm sure you know, the details of these bugs are usually NDA'd when they're found outside of vendors. There's a public errata for it, but I'm not going to describe the finding of an NDA'd bug on public twitter.

At my current (much smaller than Google) employer, we just found an issue that causes data corruption on a CPU from one of your whitelisted vendors. If you speak with people in the platforms group at any large company, you'll find people run into these with some regularity.

You also mentioned it in this tweet (as far as I'm aware, I haven't brought it up at all, so one of us is very confused).https://twitter.com/danluu/status/1203453134657314816 …

Yes, I brought it up originally and you keep saying that it's not relevant and this invalidates my objections when my objections are completely unrelated.
